About the Item

Japanese artist Tomo Mori has lived all over the world after leaving her hometown of Osaka, Japan, including the Caribbean, Latin America, and West Africa. She now lives in New York City where she exhibits her work prolifically. Mori’s works at the Judy Ferrara Gallery are from her Internal Fluidity series, which draws its inspiration from the multitude of feelings that we have no choice but to go through, confront, and resolve one way or another; feelings like happiness, which results in laughter, sadness, which results in crying, and everything in between. Tomo's fascination with the parts that make up the whole is represented in her work by the hundreds and thousands of small painted pieces of canvas that she then pastes onto a large stretched canvas. The color palettes of these mixed media works range from dark blue edges that explode in bursts of light blues and greens in the center, to multicolored bursts of color on one side that fade to neutral matte hues on the other side, and neutral matte hues on the edges that form almost a tornado-like surge of small multicolored canvas pieces in the center all overlapping one another, fighting for attention. Despite the vivacious nature of these works, there is a relaxing, meditative quality about them that makes you wonder about the meaning of the complex arrangement of the tiny canvas pieces collaged together. Once you know Mori’s inspiration for her art, you know they mean to exude all the minute individual elements forging together; resulting in everything that there is in our world.
